AOC Wants A Raise

Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez — who has been in office for six months — argued that she deserves a $4,500 pay raise even though her party blocked an effort to increase congressional pay.
Keep in mind that this time last year, AOC was a bartender who lived off tips. And given her track record of tax evasion, it’s unlikely that she paid taxes on those gratuities. Today, Ocasio Cortez makes $174,000 per year as a Congresswoman, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers.

She claims bad pay is reason lobbyists own politicians.

She has no basis in logic or reality.
Posted on 6/11/19 at 10:09 am to Carl Kolchak
She feels this way because she is part of the ruling class.

She’s a typical naive, late 20s liberal. The real problem are the people who voted for her and financially backed her.

Yeah, I heard her say that this morning. What a tool. As long as lobbying is allowed the lobbyists will always go higher with their bribes to own politicians if that is what it takes to own them.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

@AOC
Yep. Voting against cost of living increases for members of Congress may sound nice, but doing so only increases pressure on them to keep dark money loopholes open.
This makes campaign finance reform *harder.*
ALL workers deserve cost of living increases, incl min wage workers.

Its quite likely that in exchange for a possible 3.1% pay raise for FedGov leeches like yours truly, Congress will insert a pay raise for itself as well.

Well in her defense. I have lived in DC on pretty much the same number. It ain't cheap up dare.

In what universe is $174,000 per year "bad pay"?

That sounds a lot like the old “if we pay college athletes, it’ll eliminate cheating” argument.
Same logic (or lack thereof).

Congress should not be able to give itself a raise. Let the tax payers vote on raises at the polls.
Posted on 6/11/19 at 10:39 am to Carl Kolchak
She makes far more than her constituents yet still feels she needs more?
How long before they turn on her?

I refuse to believe this woman has an economics degree. She is a total moron. I'm ready for her 15 minutes to expire
Posted on 6/11/19 at 10:52 am to Carl Kolchak
I think she should make only $15 an hour
